Leo
Pretending to be like everyone else is exhausting, but I’ve mastered it. No one knows what really lurks behind the mask I wear every day. I’m not like others. I don’t experience emotions like they do. I have no need for human connection, but when I see Tyshawn, that changes. One look and I know he’s mine. It doesn’t matter that I’ve never been with a man before. He makes me want, he makes me burn. When he catches me … working … my second job, he has to decide if he wants to stay with me. I have to convince him that I’m willing to do anything for him … including slaying some of his demons.
Tyshawn
Owning my own bakery is my dream. When a friend of mine pushes me to contact the owner of Ray’s Beanery for a tasting to display my baked goods at his coffee shop, I jump at the opportunity. The sexy coffee shop owner I meet is as unexpected as my instant feelings of desire for him. That is, until I walk in on him covered in blood while he’s … working. I realize there is more to him than meets the eye. I’m terrified of him, but when I hear him out, I’m intrigued. I know what he’s capable of. Am I capable of it too?
Leo, My Partner is a MM dark themed, dual POV, high heat romance. It contains a strong and rambling baker and a psychopathic coffee shop owner that shows his kotenok how to kill those that deserve it. HEA guaranteed. Please check trigger warnings before reading.
REVIEW:
I love possessive claiming men, and with a from first sight ‘he’s mine’ behavior.
Yup, I love that!
That’s what Leo is, he wants to claim Ty and hold him close every second of the day, nah better not cuff him to his bed, but yes he’d love to because he’s clingy and possessive. Leo is surprised by the bodily sensation he feels when he looks at Ty, this beautiful Black guy with one blue and one brown eye, and his lush mouth. His babbling works soothing for Leo.
Leo is a psychopath with a dark soul, who can’t love and will not stay away from Ty’s beautiful soul.
Ty tries to stay realistic, a guy like Leo doesn’t fall for a guy like Ty. This man is way out of his league.
Ty, sweet Ty, if you only knew ha!
Why they meet in the first place is for business, Ty is a baker and Leo’s coffee shop needs all the delicious baked goods Ty can offer.
One day Ty will have his own bakery, it’s his dream.
Leo is head over heels for Ty and would do anything to make him happy.
When Ty witnesses what Leo does for a living, killing bad guys, he’s afraid to get killed.
Ha! as if!! Leo worships the ground Ty walks on.
Ty has a favor to ask, it’s one Leo can make Ty happy with!
Oh boy, I loved this narrative. Please, for your health, don’t read this if you can’t handle bloody, painful torture, because it’s all here. Do you know what else is here? Blu and June from the previous story!
Ty is thé perfect partner for Leo.
There are some spicy scenes to enjoy, some sweetness, even some sadness, a lot of possessiveness, and… delicious cupcakes and cookies!
